Does the Genesis have DRLs or not?

[Future Owner]

I have a 2009 Genesis with HID headlights. As far as I can tell my car does not have DRLs. However, I located this video with instructions on changing the DRLs in a 2013 Genesis. Were DRLs a later addition, post-2009?

I have 2011 4.6 and also don't have DRL. DRL feature, along with LED strip, was added on 2012-2014 models.

Too bad, because DRLs are a great feature. Are the 2012-14 headlight units plug and play replacements?

 

[Gunkk]

No. They changed the body slightly and they won't fit.

DRLs are mandatory in Canada, so any 2009-11 sold here would have had them.

Excellent point. So do Canadian units have a different headlight assembly, different headlight switch, or some other part? Whatever it is, is it plug and play for U.S. cars?

I understand you would need to get a controller - I don't think it is the actual headlights that need replacing. Here an example I found locally, but I'm sure there are similar on ebay or where ever and obviously some OEM Hyundai part. Anyone importing a car without DRLs from the US to Canada needs to convert.
